From the referee's point of view, even in the previous opening statement, it was seen that the Taoyuan University debate team was strong in the first debate, far better than the Dongshan University team, but he did not expect that the Dongshan University team would be dumbfounded by Gan Shuangshuang in the free debate. You know, this is the free debate with the highest degree of freedom of speech!

However, when the referee recalled that at the beginning of the offensive and defensive joints of this debate match, the Dongshan University team was crushed by the Taoyuan University team, and felt that it was inevitable that such a link would appear in the free debate.

Thinking of this, the referee pressed the button again and reminded aloud: "The last reminder, it is the turn of the opponent Dongshan University team to defend, if there is no one to answer, it will be regarded as your score for giving up the free defense link." ”

Giving up a link means that the referee will give zero points in that session, and it also means that the whole debate has been lost.

In a certain room in a hotel, hearing the referee's words in the headphones, several debaters on the Dongshan University team opened their mouths slightly, but none of them spoke. It's not that they don't want to say it, it's that they simply can't find the words to respond to each other's words. Even in the previous debate, all four had the idea of being persuaded by the other party.

They all felt in their hearts that it was not that they were not fully prepared, nor that they were not capable enough, but that the truth was on the side of the Taoyuan University team on the debate of "curing ignorance and curing poverty".

If these members of the Dongshan University team have listened to Liu Meng's lecture to Gan Shuangshuang and the four of them that day, and remember the basic definition of debate, they will know: In terms of debate, Gan Shuangshuang and the four have achieved the purpose of the debate on the four members of the Dongshan University team, that is, they have persuaded the other party to agree with their own views.

This situation is extremely rare in debate competitions, because everything that can become a topic of debate is the kind of ambiguity that cannot be understood by the debate. It's okay to say it's right, it's okay to say it's wrong. It is like curing foolishness and poverty. Who can say which is more important?

Now, under the "persuasion" of Gan Shuangshuang and several others, the debaters of the Dongshan University team feel that the debate topic of the positive side "curing ignorance is more important than curing poverty" is correct.

In terms of the debate competition, the Dongshan University team lost to the Taoyuan University team in this game, which is commonly known as being crushed.

The leader of the Dongshan University team looked extremely ugly on the side, but he didn't blame a few students. Because he had been listening just now, even he was somewhat persuaded by several debaters on the Taoyuan University team, not to mention the students he tutored. He could tell that the students wanted to speak desperately, but none of them spoke.

Why don't you open your mouth?

Because these students all know that what they say must be out of their minds, and it is better not to say it.

The referee watched the countdown of the 10-second reminder end, and there was still no one on the side of Dongshan University who "raised his hand" to reply, so he could only press the button and say: "Okay." Now, I would like to announce that Higashiyama University has voluntarily waived the free debate session. The game entered the final link and concluded the presentation. ”

At this point in the game, the situation has developed like this, and the summary statement can only become the situation. After Gan Shuangshuang finished his concluding arguments with great momentum, Dongshan University finished his concluding remarks according to the materials prepared earlier, and then ended the debate.

As for the outcome of this debate, there is no need to say. The Taoyuan University team defeated the Dongshan University team!

Looking at the word "failure" displayed on the online debate platform on the computer screen, several debaters on the Dongshan University team couldn't help but look gloomy.

At this time, the team leader sighed and said, "Hey. We were really negligent this time, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so badly. ”

Hearing this, the four debaters remembered their thoughts and words before the debate began, and they were all ashamed of themselves - they also said that the other party was a rookie and wanted to crush the rookie. Now it seems that he is obviously a weak chicken. It's the other party who crushes these weak chickens.

was eliminated, and the debaters of the Dongshan University team naturally could not participate in the next competition, and could only be reduced to the same spectator status as the team leader. And during the break, several people sighed one by one after they were sad-

"I really can't figure it out, where did Taoyuan University find such a few awesome students? Especially that Gan Shuangshuang was able to catch me out of every mistake in every sentence. I didn't dare to open my mouth. ”

"Gan Shuangshuang is powerful, but the other debaters are not weak, at least better than all of us."

"I have a hunch that the Taoyuan University debate team is probably going to enter this final and make a splash."

"Not necessarily, right? The reason why we lost so badly is not only because the other side is too strong. In the second round, if they encounter Fudan University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Yan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Nanjing University and other universities that have won the championship of the debate, they may be eliminated directly. ”

"The Taoyuan University team shouldn't be that bad, right?"

“”

In fact, Liu Meng has no idea how the current debate strength of Gan Shuangshuang and the others compares with the top college debate team, and he is afraid that if he is unlucky, he will be eliminated directly if he encounters the strongest debate team. Therefore, today he cast his aura of luck on Gan Shuangshuang, who is the captain of the debate team.

Although luck can't decide everything, at least it has a role, right?

During the dozens of minutes of the break, Gan Shuangshuang and the four of them actively discussed the gains and losses of the debate match just now, which has always been a habit. Although a few people just crushed each other, but there are also scores in the crushing, how to crush the score to score the highest? Or is there something flawed in your previous language?

That's what a few people discussed.

On the list of the winning university debate teams in the first round immediately released by Huaguo Debate Network, Taoyuan University is still ranked last, which is inconspicuous.

Soon, the break passed, and it was the second round of the net debate knockout round, 24 into 12.

The names of the 24 universities on the interface of the online debate platform appeared again in a chaotic form, and after a few seconds, it became the words so-and-so university vs so-and-so university. Among them, Taoyuan University vs Shencheng Jiaotong University.

Seeing this result, Liu Meng, Bai Xiaofu, Yu Xiaoxin, and Dong Xiaoxian were all relieved, only Gan Shuangshuang still looked calm, and didn't seem to care who the opponent was.

The reason why Liu Meng and the others breathed a sigh of relief was because among the 24 universities in the second round, the debate team of Shenjiao University has not performed too well. Although it is not ruled out that there may be a debate genius this year, it is better than facing those college debate teams that are strong in every class.

At the same time, in the computer room with the best configuration on the campus of Shenjiao University, the members of the debate team of Shenjiao University sitting in front of the computer saw the results of the second round of the lottery, and their initial expressions were similar to those of the previous Dongshan University team, and they were all stunned, as if they did not expect that the opponent would be Taoyuan University.

Here's the thing, it's surprising to draw the strongest opponent, but it's also surprising to draw the weakest.
